A big yes to believing in your work and waiting for the right time to release it!! The Fifth Season is my go-to fantasy rec and I will shout about how much I love it until I am blue in the face. Literal perfection.
It's hard when you want to introduce yourself as something but have nothing to show for it! Just waiting for the pay off in a professional sense, all good things come with time. Absolutely adore Fifth Season, love that you're a fan!
Yesss, I am in exactly the same boat at the moment! It’s a weird balance between wanting to build an audience (and also share because you’re excited about what you’ve written!) but also not giving the goods away before they’re fully baked!
Omg when you’re talking about characterization all I could think about was the fifth season too. “The Fifth Season does this beautifully. And it’s hard when your gold standard of fantasy is just so damn good.”
It’s so true I’m looking for another fifth season everywhere
Yup yup yup, it was so rich and deep and layered like THE LAYERS OF THE EARTH omg it's all a metaphor. But seriously, that was the last real major fantasy book I read because how do you stand a chance against something that is so mature and creative?
I’d like to quote every one of your sentences 😂 “It’s all skinny jeans bad boy this and Ryle or Rylan or Rylacard that, and never about merchant laws or taxation systems”

Omg same I’ve tried to read a couple others 😭

I am sick! To death! Of skinny jeans in fantasy!! Why can’t I find out how the magical government make revenue 😭😭😭
Thank you for stopping by! I would say I’m a big fan but now I’m not so sure. Her first series is fantastic though and I highly recommend
